It was pointed out that the current way the KERNEL_FEATURES variable
is appended in the base linux-yocto recipe doesn't allow the appended
features to be prevented in a layer without using python code and
a recipe finalize hook.
To allow easier overriding of 'extra' or 'optional' features that are
defined in the linux-yocto recipe, we create a KERNEL_EXTRA_FEATURES
variable. This variable can be set in a layer to define extra features
or cleared to prevent the recipe's extra features from being appended
to the core functionality.

I'm overloading bug 3423 with the list of documentation updates that I'll
send out for 1.4 .. it has now been updated.
Cheers,
